On May 5, we honour Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit people.

At SAVIS, we are proud to partner with Grandmother’s Voice in their work to amplify Indigenous voices and support safer, stronger communities.

This day is about more than awareness. It is about truth, reflection, and action.

Indigenous women and girls continue to face disproportionate violence, rooted in systems that have not always protected or supported them. Recognizing this day means acknowledging those realities and committing to change.

Indigenous women are life givers, leaders, and the heart of community. Their safety matters. Their voices matter.

Through our partnership with Grandmother’s Voice, we are learning how to listen more deeply and support approaches to care that are grounded in respect, relationship, and Indigenous knowledge.

Today, we remember those who are missing and those whose lives were taken. We honour their families and communities.

And we commit to being part of a future where Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people are safe, seen, and supported.

The Halton District School Board, in partnership with SAVIS, is inviting parents/guardians and students in Grades 7-12 to attend a Gender-Based Violence Information Session! 💜

These sessions are designed to support families in building a deeper understanding of gender-based violence, including exploring common myths and increasing awareness of how these issues impact individuals and communities.

Families will be provided with knowledge, resources and practical strategies to build safe, respectful and healthy relationships.

The session will provide opportunities to learn through an educational presentation, hear lived-experiences from survivors and ask questions to a panel of community partners.

In these sessions, you will learn:
* What gender-based violence is (myths vs. facts)
* How to recognize warning signs that youth may be the targets of gender-based violence
* How to support young survivors and create safe spaces at home and within our communities
* How to access local resources for families in Halton

📍Two session options (same content):
1. Tuesday, April 21 | 6–8 PM�Tiger Jeet Singh PS (Milton)
2. Wednesday, June 10 | 6–8 PM�Hawthorne Village PS (Milton)

⚠️ Registration required (spots are limited)

Child minding will be provided at no cost for school-age children (Kindergarten to Grade 8) for families who would benefit from childcare in order to attend.

Join us for this important session and be part of the conversation. Together, we can support youth and build safer, more respectful spaces for everyone. We look forward to seeing you there!

SAVIS was proud to attend an important announcement focused on preventing gender-based violence and promoting safer, more respectful workplaces.

The event highlighted the impactful work of Interval House of Hamilton alongside their union partners - LiUNA, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and the Canadian Union of Skilled Workers - in building safer job sites across the community, particularly within male-dominated skilled trades.

Interval House Hamilton will use nearly $100K in new federal funding to help make these workplaces safer for women. The organization, which supports women and children who have experienced abuse, is one of 18 groups across Canada selected to receive a share of $2 million for gender-based violence prevention programs.

Federal Minister for Women and Gender Equality, Rechie Valdez, announced an investment of $95,674 for Interval House. This builds on a total of $610,268 already provided to support training for 970 individuals across 56 workplaces - all with the goal of fostering safer and more respectful environments for women!

Thank you to everyone who joined us last week at the International Women’s Day event at the Milton Public Library! 💜

It was wonderful to connect with community members of all ages and to share space with several incredible local agencies supporting our community. Events like this remind us how important it is to come together, uplift one another, and continue advocating for equity and support for all.

We’re grateful to everyone who stopped by, shared conversations, and helped make the day so meaningful!!

Last week, SAVIS was honoured to host Federal Ombudsperson Benjamin Roebuck for an important conversation on the recommendations from “Rethinking Justice for Survivors of Sexual Violence” by the Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime.

Many of these recommendations are reflected in the upcoming Bill C-16, which advocates for greater agency and support for survivors of sexual violence.

The panel was hosted by former MP Pam Damoff, with a powerful opening from Jody of Grandmother’s Voice. Most importantly, we heard directly from survivors in attendance about how we can continue strengthening and supporting our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared their voices, and helped move this conversation forward. 💜
